raocow's talkhaus

A platforming segment which requires both speed and precision wherein a single mistake is fatal?

Okay, NOW the game is really starting to feel like Distorted Travesty. :D

And suddenly there is a Shroud Lord! I think we were all there with you when you panicked at that, raocow. Yes, Zephyr, I think that was the appropriate thing to do if you wanted an "oh, crap" reaction. I really like the idea of the old boss music coming on for the last phase though. Is th...

Did ryuu just use "Hey there, everyone!" as a battle cry?

Also loved his astonishment at seeing that key was the boss. Apparently he's not familiar with the saga of the Key Boss.

I'm not certain, is he planning on doing the post-game? Couldn't quite tell.

He finally figured out that Sheath can attack downward! :D

I'd forgotten the "Hey there everyone..." level.

Oh, no... "Ascend" is the Luna level isn't it... That's not going to be pretty.

And there's a second video of Aekros up on the Youtube! Here's the translations for Aekros's text, if anyone's interested: Stage Name: Eternal Vessel Pink Weapon: Tree of Sephirot Blue Weapon: Grand Aegis Green Weapon: Divine Mind Combined Weapon: Supreme Judgment Text on Aekros's body: "Caeles...

By the way, nobody tell Edmund about the blind spots in that attack, because knowing him, he'd remove them.

Hugging the parallel wall is not a guaranteed dodge, depending on the exact position of the boss. I find it safer to remain just inside the outermost line of bullets.

Yeah, thankfully the game saved my place on the previous level, so I was able to continue the run. Successfully beat *NEW BOSS* but died against *SUPER FINAL BOSS*... because I was dumb and forgot he could summon things during his attack phases. Honestly, *NEW BOSS* isn't that tough, I've found. A d...

I was about to beat the new boss as the Lost... and the game ****ing crashed!

I thought they'd patched that two patches ago.

That's a bit of a problem with the final bosses of Rebirth: by the time you get to them you're likely to be so overpowered that nothing is a challenge.

Afterbirth's new bosses... fix that.

I just beat SPEED!!! after like my 50th try. So, yeah, I'm feeling pretty awesome right now. EDIT: 89% at 302 hours for me. Only thing I'm not looking forward to is doing *SPOILER* boss and *SPOILER* boss with *SPOILER* character. (I'm sure all the Isaac veterans know exactly which ones I'm talking ...

Another patch is out. Azazel is still not fixed. But some other bugs have been fixed, the Death's Touch and Multidimensional animations have been improved, and Greed Mode's final boss has been made much tougher. Also Monstro no longer shows up in the pre-final boss room, but is replaced by two Super...

Well, that's good to hear. I was despairing of beating the new boss with him.

Welp, patch is out, and it seems to have unlocked most of the items that for some reason weren't available. People haven't given up the hunt for further hidden content though. The patch fixed a whole bunch of bugs, which is nice... and nerfed the hell out of Azazel (massive damage decrease and an in...

I think so, but Dark Judas can obtain red hearts (??? can't), and you start Blue Bomber with Pyromaniac, which makes explosions heal red heart damage.

Combine Pyromaniac with Kamikaze on a character with red hearts and you effectively have infinite health.

Hooray for spoilers! I've heard that Hush is supposed to be Isaac after he's suffocated to death inside the chest. Hence why it's blue, and why it looks like something's been wrapped around it. Is the Lost still a spoiler? Well, just in case. I'm not looking forward to playing more games as the Lost...

Annnnnd bumping again because the next part is up. If my pathetic knowledge of Japanese is accurate, seems like his computer died and he had to get a new one, which may explain the gap between the last video and this one. He did manage to flip over and carry a disco shell around in this video. I did...

Re:Copy Kitty, I believe raocow has stated his intention to go back and complete Hard Mode on that game at some later point. He put it off because, at the time he played through Turbo's normal mode, Hard Mode was about to get a major update with a bunch of new stuff, so Azure (one of Copy Kitty's cr...

Don't call a game bad just because raocow isn't having fun with it. I don't think that's fair to the game. Many people enjoy very challenging games. They have fun with them even through the rage. They strive to prove to themselves that they can overcome even the nastiest challenge the game can offer...

There's a sentence you don't hear too often...

Binding of Isaac seems to have a knack for causing such sentences though.

Pretty sure Jello only does the *SPOILER* bit everyone's talking about on Demon mode difficulty, so raocow won't have to worry about that. raocow's unfortunately at a disadvantage here because he's doing a Let's Play, which means he's talking a lot, which means he's liable to miss the audio cues, li...

Bump because next part is up.

Wow... yeah, that level really needs a checkpoint of some kind, somewhere.

Good use of "I Can't Defeat Airman!" though.

Were the stages that laggy in raocow's LP or is it on Ryuu's end?

If you mean the Zebraspace levels, then yes, he is doing them.
